“We are heartbroken and devastated,” head coach Lincoln Riley said in a statement. “Dave was such a tremendous human being and a fantastic football coach. He absolutely loved the game and constantly poured his heart and soul into his teams. He will be dearly missed.
“My thoughts and prayers are with his family. We, as a program, look forward to playing and coaching for him as we move forward.” Nichol joined Riley’s first coaching staff at USC in December. He previously coached wide receivers at Mississippi State and Washington State after getting his first shot as an offensive coordinator in his fourth season at East Carolina .
Nichol is survived by his father, Robert Nichol Sr., and brothers Robert Nichol Jr. and Jimmy Nichol. No cause of death was announced by the school, but Nichol had cancer, according to multiple reports.
My classmates and I are very saddened at Dave Nichol’s passing. Jesuit Dallas class of ‘95. Sincere condolences to his family. Absent from the body, present with the Lord.
